Inspiring Instagram Accounts to Follow

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Quinnipiac chapter.

Instagram: the best social media platform to upload the moments you enjoy, while also stumbling upon accounts that can inspire you.

 

Keeping a positive mindset is the key to a healthy lifestyle, so here are some uplifting instagram accounts to help you with that.

 

@femalecollective celebrates and empowers all women! (posted by @femalecollective)

You’ve probably already heard of @HumansofNY, but if you haven’t, then it’s definitely worth checking out. HONY shares the lives of New Yorkers, one story at time. Each story is impactful in its own way, sharing the honest reality for both individuals and families.

@thegoodquote “spreads good vibes worldwide” with one positive quote a day.

When it comes to traveling, Instagram has an account dedicated for almost any place you’d want to visit!

 

@hiddengemofnyc

This account includes the not-so-touristy destinations that have attracted New Yorkers. Through this account, I visited a hidden gem called the Sea Glass Carousel located in Battery Park in 2015.

@DiscoverLA

One of the most inspiring accounts yet, DiscoverLA captures the most beautiful places and scenery in Los Angeles – while including heartfelt quotes from people who reside in LA, or have even just visited once.

@natgeo shows all the wonders of the world through the eyes of their photographers.

Everybody loves some good food!

 

@CTFoodLovers shares some of the best places to grub in the Connecticut area. Some of my favorite places include the famous Frank Pepe’s in New Haven, CT and The Breakfast Nook located in North Haven, CT, a few minutes outside of Quinnipiac.

 

Combining a traveling and foodie account, @chicagofoodauthority posts the most rated restaurants and food places to go to in the Chicago area. It definitely inspires you to make a trip to the Mid-West and try some deep dish pizza!

 

Closer to Connecticut, @new_fork_city is a three person run foodie account based in the New York City area. Although sometimes, they ~spice~ things up and travel elsewhere to post delicious dishes from areas outside of NYC!

 

Trendy public figures:

 

Youtuber @negin_mirsalehi
